I just got the domain: ibeatmaker.com and am looking for some people to help me to manage it.
A static page of custom kits with download links is the first thing I want to put up. So let me know if you are interested in helping and I'll give you access.
Eventually I'll install wiki software so we can build a proper knowledge base.

Let me know if this is something that makes sense or what else would be more usefull.
We do have a forum here with tons of valuable information. But it is hard to find important stuff and that's where a wiki would be very helpful, I think.
Let me know and check it out:

Cool, I was thinking of creating a list as well for them, definitely is needed. I guess I would suggest to put that blogging software as a separate link for news or something, or just add a link that says "DOWNLOAD FREE KITS HERE" so they dont need to search through the forum for the kits. I would like to see something like:

ok, it would be better if you host the files on your server because people may end up moving, renaming and removing the files so we could end up with broken links here.

I Agree so far all the ones I have linked are on my server but also I have the link to the original forum post, hopefully they will update the forum post, but worst case the actual files are on my server. If anyone wants something removed they can simply contact me

The easiest method is to just type in the url for a Beat Pack server and connect directly from the beatmaker application on the iphone.

I think this is a good idea, but you should've given credit to the people who made these kits. Show some respect man. Don't front like you're the one sharing the kits when you're just reposting other peoples' contributions. Do it the right way and it's all good. It's not cool to see individual links to all your custom kits without any credit. Most of these links came right of my shared kits page... which is fine, but as I said, you might want to show some respect for the people generating this free content.

maybe it would be a good idea to post all user created kits on one thread and make it sticky or something.

Until a more official place is provided to share BeatPacks, PatchArena has created a download section for BeatMaker related files for users who want to share their files but don't have an easy webspace to host.

Can you add all those kits that that first poster put up. The only way I have figured out how to add kits is through your directory site. I'm loving it. Ive got beatpack but cant figure out how to save it correctly so I can upload.

I'm currently working on another bunch of kits and should be able to offer them up to the community pretty soon. it'll be an eclectic mix including some pretty dusty instrumental chops I've recently discovered while digging through an 8-track collection I was given... as well as some more drum kits to add to the lofi collection.

any feedback on what people are finding useful would be great, so feel free to PM me. not sure I'll be able to handle individual requests, but if enough people ask for the same thing, I'll get it out there for ya. peace. <!-- s8-) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8-)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8-) -->
